Happy to share that our recent paper on global-scale geodynamic + seismic anisotropy simulation is on Eos spotlight. With @bstein.bsky.social , Manuele Faccenda , @michapons.bsky.social Enjoy reading! :) eos.org/research-spo...

Today, we kicked off this term's department seminar series with Dr. Michael Pons (@michapons.bsky.social) coming from @gfz.bsky.social. He presented his research on geodynamic modeling of tectonic activity on Earth and Venus 🌍🌌 #DUresearch #Modeling #GFZ

3rd paper from @poulamiroy.bsky.social's Ph.D. just out at doi.org/10.1029/2025.... Combined global models of mantle flow and anisotropy constrain deformation mechanisms and viscosity, density and hence compositional structure of lowermost mantle. With Manuele Faccenda, @michapons.bsky.social & me.

Deadline on June 15th ❗Take a moment to nominate a colleague or early career scientist for an EGU Geodynamics Division award. It’s quick to do and a great way to recognize their work! 🏅 The Augustus Love Medal 🌟 The Division Outstanding Early Career Scientist Award www.egu.eu/awards-medal...

Hey everyone, here’s a video of a talk I gave yesterday for the Geological Association of Argentina about the geodynamics of the Central Andes. Sorry for my French accent, which somehow gets even stronger in situations like this 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD7U...

Wondering what is the anisotropic signature of slab-induced plumes from thermochemical piles in the lowermost mantle? Then find out from Poulami Roy's paper agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/... co-authored by Manuele Faccenda, @michapons.bsky.social and myself

Hey everyone 😊 My global geodynamic numerical model of the Earth is part of the Helmholtz Imaging Best Scientific Image Contest 2025! I’d really appreciate your support 🤗, feel free to check it out and vote if you like it 🗳️ 😁 Link 🔗 : shorturl.at/TMgOH #HIBestImage25 #HIConference25

🌍 One event you won’t want to miss at #EGU25 is the Geodynamics ECS Dinner—a fantastic chance to meet and connect with fellow early career scientists from around the world! 🔗 Reserve your spot (limited seats!): forms.gle/KiM8wK3WGGN9... #egugeodynamics

Paper alert! 🚨 We investigate how the geometry of the fault network affects seismic sequences on normal faults, and how this might affect seismic hazard assessment using physics-based models of earthquakes. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Scientific recycling: In doi.org/10.1029/2024... I use results from Poulami Roy's Ph.D. thesis to address why plume excess temperatures are much less than temperature drop across the lowermost-mantle thermal boundary layer. Further co-authors @michapons.bsky.social and Matteo Jopke. (continued)

Two days left to vote for @The_GA Journal Awards! I'm delighted that my tectonics article (using seismic tomography to take fieldtrips to the mantle) is in the final three. I would appreciate a vote from any GA member who found it helpful. Vote here: geography.org.uk/journals-res...

New paper by @khushgr.bsky.social couples vegetation, 3D climate and biogeochemistry continuously over 250 million years! We find that changing plant distribution was a major long-term carbon cycle feedback and may account for up to ~5 C of warming at some times nature.com/articles/s41...

There are open positions in Prague (project on salt tectonics in Morocco). See image for details 😃

The results of our colleagues at NASA are indeed worrying. With our joint satellite missions GRACE (2002-2017) and GRACE-FO (since 2018) we are measuring the mass changes within Greenland's ice sheet. Now, NASA colleagues use different methods & satellites and the situation seems even worse.

The M6.6 below Brazil yesterday was part of a line of really interesting ultra-deep earthquakes along the South American subduction zone. These kinds of earthquakes are a puzzle, because they occur in a part of the Earth that should be too hot for brittle faulting. 1/

It’s the 30th birthday of Citcom - the predecessor of @underworldcode.org Lots of fun news coming about our latest projects but some retrospectives first. Open source tectonic / geodynamics modeling software ⚒️🧪 - this really was not a thing until Citcom came along and helped build our community.
